The aim of the attack, the report noted, is to thwart American logistic activities needed in order to carry out a military operation against Iranian nuclear facilities.

In a confidential document leaked to the paper, the German chief prosecutor’s office claimed that the businessman is suspected of involvement in “espionage and sabotage” activities. The paper estimated that the suspect engaged in intelligence gathering for possible attacks on dozens of American military bases in western Germany.

According to the report, potential targets included airstrips in military bases that serve the US army and NATO forces.

The release of the report comes a day after Germany recalled its ambassador in Tehran, following the stormingof the British Embassy on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, EU governments agreed on Thursday to add about 180 people and entities to its sanctions on Iran, an EU official said.

The ratcheting up of pressure on Iran follows a Nov. 8 report by the International Atomic Energy Agency which presented intelligence suggesting Iran had worked on designing an atomic bomb and may still be secretly carrying out related research, something Tehran denies.

    Iran like Iraq before, has got the idea that it will make the West pay heavily if we attack their nuclear facilities. They have no idea, like Saddam before, what can be done to Iran if the West uses just 1% of the force available to it.
